About this organization
Mission
Dorchester Paws strives to instill humane principles into society through the prevention of cruelty to animals. We envision a world where every animal goes on the journey from victim to victory. We are committed to ending unnecessary euthanasia and giving every animal a second chance; combating overpopulation by encouraging spaying and neutering; championing responsible pet ownership through public education; feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless and protecting the abused; and reuniting lost pets with their families and finding homes for strays.
About
We are committed to finding every adoptable animal a home and because there are far more animals than there are humans; we spay/neuter every animal that is available for adoption. We also educate and encourage pet owners to have their animal spayed/neutered as early as 8 weeks. In 2018 we opened our own spay/neuter clinic to spay/neuter all of our adoptable animals.
